Looking for the perfect private venue hire in Durham? Look no further than Lane 7 at Walkergate!
It’s much more than a bowling alley. Lane 7 is packed to the brim with arcade games and activities to fill your night with all the fun you could ask for. And with private venue hire options ranging from single lanes to the full venue, it’s already one of the hottest spots in Durham for date nights, squad gatherings, and corporate events!
There’s a little something for everyone at Lane 7, from the expected tenpin bowling alleys and pool tables, to the more niche arcade mainstays like beer pong and batting cages. Need a break for the action? The premium bar serves delicious seasonal cocktails, soft drinks and bar snacks to keep you fuelled all night long.


Lane 7 offers two levels of private venue hire. Book the downstairs area for access to the bar and a selection of your favourite arcade games to entertain groups of up to 60 guests – perfect for after-work events and larger gatherings.
If you’re in need of even more space, you can hire the whole venue to accommodate up to 400 guests. Say goodbye to dusty corporate parties and hello to your business’ best night out! Run wild across Lane 7’s full range of entertainment facilities, plus plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for your party and a photobooth hire to document the evening.


Plus, with 24 hour secure car parking at Walkergate right below the venue, all your guests can enjoy stress-free access to (probably) the best night out in Durham!
Smaller groups can book online, but if you’re after a full private hire package, please contact the team directly to organise your booking.
T&Cs apply, 18+ only after 7pm. See Lane 7 for details.
